To be specific: I just started denemo with a denemorc starting thus:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Denemo>
  <Config>
    <midi-devices>
      <device client="denemome">
        <ports>
          <port>midi_outa</port>
          <port>midi_outb</port>
          <port>midi_outc</port>
        </ports>
      </device>
      <device client="denemoyou">
        <ports>
          <port>midi_outa</port>
          <port>midi_outb</port>
          <port>midi_outc</port>
        </ports>
      </device>
    </midi-devices>
    <lilypath>lilypond</lilypath>

... and so on
I connected to the second of the devices and the midi_outc port, and
gave the staff that name denemoyou->midi_outc and fluidsynth received
the play data.
I don't think you need numbers in there - I am generating names with
numbers if you create a port or device, but they aren't needed.
